The fact that both of them care enough to get mad about it proves that they have what it takes to sit down and produce something usable. The people that don't care enough to get riled up, are the kinds of clock-punchers who's work will never amount to anything. Why do you think that Microsoft's stuff is so poor? Most of the people working there care about personal job security, health insurance, compensation, sabatticals and other perks first. The actual products they are working on come far down on the list in importance. That is why you will never see a Microsoft developer make these kinds of personal attacks on a mailing list. They simply don't really give a damn. Ted
